Roughing It for Christ

Bol

Adventures in the wilderness. Stories of faith. Struggles of mission work. Readers of this memoir will find themselves transported to the 1920s with American missionary Albert Lehenbauer as he spends 8 years teaching and ministering in Brazil. Blessings, hopes, and challenges abound as Lehenbauer serves a German-Russian immigrant community in Brazil and helps organize the Lutheran Church in the nation. Lehenbauer records uplifting stories of people coming to faith. He also offers a realistic look at the struggles of mission work, like community members who grew up in the church but refused to live according to the Bible. Lehenbauer's realistic documentation of challenges proves why mission work is important--it can change lives and bring people to faith through the power of the Gospel. Readers interested in mission work will appreciate the cultural, religious, and geographical information presented firsthand by Lehenbauer.
